Project Description

Welcome to my dashboard! This is where I am building my work for the EDLD 652 Data Visualization Final Project. I hope you enjoy coding as mush as do!

The dataset used in this project is from the International Computer and Information Literacy Study (ICILS) Teacher Panel 2020, retrieved from the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). ICILS investigates how teachers integrate technology into their teaching practices across different educational systems: Finland, Denmark, and Uruguay.

Research Question One

What is the relationship between teacher’s information and communication technology (ICT) use frequency with their school’s attitude toward using ICT technology in the classroom? (This question is aiming to explore institutional attitude toward ICT influence individual teacher behavior in adopting technology for teaching).

The primary audience for this visualization includes school administrators and professional development designers. The goal is to communicate how a school’s stance on ICT affects teacher’s usage of technology in their classroom. By highlighting these relationships, I aim to identify gaps in teacher readiness and perceptions that professional development programs can address.

Research Question Two

What is the relationship between teachers’ technology use in the classroom and their major teaching subjects? This question aims to explore whether teachers in different subject areas (e.g., mathematics, sciences, language arts) use technology more frequently compare to their peers in other subjects).

The primary audience for this visualization includes curriculum developers and EdTech service providers. The goal of this visualization is to identify the specific needs of various subject areas. By understanding these patterns, EdTech providers can develop customized technology resources that better support teachers in different disciplines. Curriculum developers can use these insights to align instructional strategies with technological integration.

Major Challenge
- Incorrect variable selection
- Unable to filter in gt()
- Chi-square test
- Render failure (Unknown)

Major Victory
- Being familiar with distill and flexdashboard
- Learned use tab_style and tab_option to customize table with gt package

Thank you!
